Yep, and the rest of the Bill of Rights are on life support.
Welcome to the USSA, comrade. Keep your eyes down and shuffle along.
Your home, your car, your person -- the police have full access 24/7 for any reason at all. You cannot stop them.
Unless, of course, you decide to stop them.
I think the police may come to regret making it open season on citizens. Nobody likes jack-booted thugs.
Educate yourself. Even the lawyer who worked with Mr. King on the Kentucky case thought that Justice Alito's opinion was perfectly sound. I guess facts don't matter to liberaltarians.

Yes.
Then on to step 2:
Taking the guns away from you because its too dangerous for LEO’s.
Part of the plan, my man...part of the plan...
I commit no crime in person or at home. Therefore, it is my policy that I will defend myself against illegal police action including warrentless search.... Years ago I swore to uphold the US Constitution against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. I hope that day never comes in the US....but I will honor my pledge.
BTW, one more time, the Indiana case has been misrepreented.
Barnes was OUTTA THERE. Other USSC cases of recent vintage say that she could have barred the cops, as a resident of the apartment, but she not only didn't bar them, she called them to help her!
The case would have been easily decided against Barnes ~ the man ~ simply by noting he was NO LONGER A RESIDENT.
The major mistake the court in Indiana made was using Islamic exegesis to examine the facts ~ then writing the woman out of the case and ruling on the basis no longer recognized in English or American common law ~ to wit, that the man is the head of the household and even if he doesn't live there the womenfolk gots ta' do what he says!
I've noticed a decided disinterest on the part of the "home is a castle" people who've commented to deal with the woman's rights to be in command of her own castle.
In fact, a clear reading of Indiana's Castle Doctrine law makes it understood that SHE could have called in the cops, or just picked up a shotgun and turned Barnes into a spray of pink mist.
I suspect a number of them to be Moslems who've infiltrated FR in the last couple of years.
Sends chills through my body - literally. What happened to “the land of the free”?
Warrantless search is not always unlawful.
Did the cops bust down the door and enter an apartment without a warrant or not?
Liberaltarians arguments always boil down to "I want to smoke pot"
Why would we be surprised at the deterioration of liberty in a time when even the equal protection of right to life of all persons is disregarded?
Remember, they’re butchering thousands again today in the abortuaries, or via chemical poisons.
If Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the voice of reason, America is in deeper trouble than anyone thought.
Really? I have often thought of myself as much like a Libertarian. And I have NEVER smoked pot. AND I don’t want to.
What most Libertarians want is Freedom from Socialists, Authoritarians, Communists, and overbearing Government in all forms.
Is that bad?
i am a libertarian. i do not smoke pot. i do support a person’s choice to do so at home at their own risk. stepping out of that circle, endangers the lives of others and opens them to the consequences of that action.
the destruction of being secure in one’s home is an end to western civilization and a free society. it is.
tell me how your prohibition is saving lives and money.
it is not.
